Rip.. BABY!!

First off, glad to hear that your girlfriend/wife is ok, thats the 
important thing.

 From what I see in the pictures, it doesn't really look all that bad 
(I'm no expert though).  It looks like you might need a new door, 
fender, control arm, tie-rod and possibly a cv shaft even though I 
really didn't see much damage to the cv, might just be good karma to 
replace it.

The door damage didn't look to bad at all, a good body man/woman should 
be able to fix the door with minimum bondo.  The fender however looks 
like it might be toast, hard to tell with some of the camera view 
points.  All in all it doesn't look that bad but sometimes cameras don't 
really catch things all that well.  If you do repair the car, have the 
frame checked just to make sure the car is safe to drive.

Also, not sure how things are done up in the great white north (i'm 
guessing from the link that you are in Canada) but down here in southern 
USA, something like that, you get the cops out there for.  This way 
there is a police report to backup any claims you make to the other 
persons insurance company.  Because people will say anything to get the 
blame removed from them and if this guy was a dick, then chances are he 
will tell his insurance company it was all her fault.  I don't know if 
you can get the police involved at this point, but it might be worth 
looking into.
